Subvert the City 2018 – Actions Summary

In Melbourne, Australia the ‘Tramclean Team’ removed 50 ad posters from the city’s tram network. Over the last 7 months, Victoria Police, Crimestoppers, Adshel and JCDecaux have been searching for alleged Tramclean members, ironically placing ‘WANTED’ posters in the advertising panels that have been targeted in the past.
